avoid injury.

2. Make sure there is enough room for safe access and oper-

ation of the INSTINCT

ROTARY TORSO.

3. Keep hands, feet, head, limbs, fingers and hair clear at all

times from moving parts to avoid injury. Use appropriate

positioning, speed and controlled movements.

15. MAINTAIN PLACARDS AND LABELS: Do not remove

labels for any reason; they contain important informa-

tion. If illegible or missing, contact the STAR TRAC

Parts Department for replacement.

16. SECURING EQUIPMENT: The INSTINCT

ROTARY

TORSO MUST be secured to the floor to stabilize and

eliminate rocking or tipping over. This must be per-

formed by a licensed contractor. DO NOT use the UNIT

if it is not set up and located on a solid level surface.

17. Make sure that each machine is set up and operated on a

solid level surface. DO NOT install equipment on an

uneven surface.

18. MAINTAIN ALL EQUIPMENT: Preventative mainte-

nance is the key to ensuring smooth and reliable opera-

tion of the INSTINCT

ROTARY TORSO, as well as

keeping your liability to a minimum. Inspect the unit

prior to use. Give particular attention to the areas most

susceptible to wear. DO NOT use if the unit is damaged

or inoperable.

19. Ensure that adjustment, maintenance and/or repair of

the INSTINCT

pectedly, striking the user when weight selector pin is

removed.

26. Lat Pulldown Machines pose a danger if used with worn

or damaged cables and connecting links. The user can be

struck in the head if the cable or related parts break dur-

ing use.

27. When adjusting any seat, knee hold down pad, range of

motion limiter, foothold pad or any other type of adjuster,

make certain that the adjusting pin is fully engaged in

the retainer hole to avoid injury.

NOTE: It is the sole responsibility of the user/owner or facility

operator to ensure that regular maintenance is performed.

ASSEMBLY

1. Assemble the Main Frame to the

Weight Frame

Align the two drilled holes in the lower cross-

beam (10) with the mating holes in the bottom

of the weight stack frame (1). Secure the

crossbeam to the weight frame using two

screws (43), four washers (53), and two lock

nuts (51). Tighten the nuts securely.

Align the two drilled holes in the upper cross-

beam (3) at the "long leg" with the mating holes

in the side beam of the weight stack frame (1).

Secure the crossbeam to the weight frame using

two screws (43), four washers (53), and two lock

nuts (51). Tighten the nuts securely.

Position the main frame (2) so the two drilled

holes in the lower crossbeam (10) and the two

drilled holes in the upper crossbeam (3) are

aligned with the mating holes in the main

frame.

Secure the main frame to the lower crossbeam

using two screws (43), four washers (53), and

two lock nuts (51). Tighten the nuts securely.

Secure the main frame to the upper crossbeam

using two screws (44), four washers (53), and

two lock nuts (51). Tighten the nuts securely.

2. Assemble the Weight Stack

NOTE:

Two people are required to assemble the

weight stack; one to hold the weight stack guide

posts in position, and one to assemble the

weight stack components onto the posts.

Slide one weight stack support (22) onto each

weight stack guide post (37).

Insert the weight stack guide posts (37) into

the retaining holes in the base of the weight

stack frame (1). BE SURE the drilled ends of

the weight stack guide posts face upwards,

toward the top of the weight stack frame.

WARNING: TO PREVENT INJURY, IN-

STALL THE WEIGHTS ONE AT A TIME.

Install weights (12, 64, 65) on the weight stack

guide posts (33), one at a time, in the following

sequence:

■

Weight, 15lb (64) - four required

■

Weight, 10lb (12) - six required

■

Weight, 5lb (65) - four required

Slide the looped end of the lanyard on the

selector pin (15) onto the shaft of the top plate

(11).

NOTE:

BE SURE to hold the lanyard in place

when installing the top plate.

Install the top plate (11) on the weight stack guide posts (37), inserting the top plate shaft through the holes in the

weights. Insert the selector pin (15) through one weight until it engages the top plate shaft.

Install one rubber cap (24) onto each weight stack guide post (37).

Lift up on one weight stack guide post (37) until the rubber cap (24) contacts the underside of the weight stack frame cross-

member. Secure the post to the weight stack with one screw (51) and one washer (53). Repeat for the remaining guide post.

3. Install the Weight Belt

Place two pulleys (14) in position on the pulley

bracket (5).

Hold the pulley bracket (5) and two pulleys

(14) in position at the bottom of the main

frame (2), and secure the pulley bracket to the

main frame using three screws (45), washers

(55) and washers (53).

NOTE:

The weight belt (21) is attached to the

top plate (11) and pulley bracket (5) using

cinch fasteners (see detail below). Two people

may be required to properly install and tension

the weight belt.

Remove the retaining screws (47) and belt retainers (39) from the belt clamps on the weight stack top plate (11) and pul-

ley bracket (5).

Insert one end of the weight belt (21) through the slot in the top plate belt clamp until approximately one inch of the free

end of the belt protrudes from the slot in the opposite side of the clamp.

While holding the free end of the belt, press down on the opposite side of the belt so it lays flat against the inside of the clamp.

Insert the belt retainer (39) into the belt clamp. BE SURE the tapped hole in the belt retainer is aligned with the mating

hole in the belt clamp.

CAUTION: BE SURE to keep the weight belt straight when installing the retaining screw (47) in the belt retainer

(39). Misalignment of the weight belt may bias the top plate, which can cause excessive contact of the top plate shaft

with the weights, resulting in excessive noise during use, and potential hazards to the user or other bystanders.

Thread the retaining screw (47) through the belt clamp and into the belt retainer (39). Tighten the retaining screw to 400

inch-pounds.

Route the weight belt (21) over eight pulleys, as illustrated.

Insert the free end of the weight belt (21) through the slot in the main frame belt clamp, and pull through the opposite slot

just until force is applied against the top plate (11). This will eliminate any slack in the belt and ensure proper tensioning.

While maintaining tension on the weight belt, press down on the free end of the belt so it lays flat against the inside of

the belt clamp.

Insert the belt retainer (39) into the belt clamp. BE SURE the tapped hole in the belt retainer is aligned with the mating

hole in the belt clamp.

Thread the retaining screw (47) through the belt clamp and into the belt retainer (39). Tighten the retaining screw to 400

inch-pounds.

Check for proper tensioning of the weight belt by applying lateral pressure to the belt at a point midway between two pul-

leys. Deflection of the weight belt should be less than 25 mm. Loosen the retaining screw (39) and adjust belt tension as

needed.

Procedures to repair scratches and chips depend on the severity of the damage:

■

Surface scratches can generally be repaired by polishing with an automotive rubbing compound.

■

Deep scratches and chips must be repaired by filling the damaged area using a “touch-up” bottle of color-matched paint

(available through the STAR TRAC Parts Department). Fill the damaged area sparingly, using two or more coats. Allow

the area to dry thoroughly between coats. Once the touch-up is complete, it can be left “as is”, or it can be blended and color-

sanded to the surrounding surface.

NOTE: The process of blending and sanding repaired areas to the surrounding surface is difficult. It should be attempted ONLY

by persons knowledgeable in this area.

The weight stack shrouds are made of PETG (glycol-modified polyethylene terephthalate). Proper cleaning is necessary to pre-

serve the appearance of the shrouds. The following cleaners are compatible with PETG: Original Dawn®, Freon® T.F., Palmolive

Liquid®, Top Job® and Windex® with Ammonia D.

CAUTION: Use ONLY recommended cleaning agents and procedures when cleaning the weight stack shrouds:

■

DO NOT use abrasive or highly alkaline cleaners to clean the shrouds.

■

DO NOT use scrape the shrouds with squeegees, razor blades or other sharp instruments. DO NOT scrub or use

brushes on the shrouds.

■

DO NOT use Benzene, gasoline, acetone or tetrachloride to clean the shrouds.

■

DO NOT clean the shrouds in hot sun or at elevated temperatures.

Wash the shrouds using a clean sponge or soft cloth, and a solution of mild soap or detergent and lukewarm water. Rinse well with

clean water, and dry thoroughly with a chamois or moist cellulose sponge to prevent water spots.

Remove stubborn accumulations (paint, grease, scuff marks) before drying by rubbing lightly with Isopropyl alcohol. Remove

labels, placards or other adhesive residue using kerosene. If solvent does not penetrate the adhesive, heat the area using a hand-

held blow dryer to soften the adhesive and aid in removal.

Clean all areas treated with solvent using a clean sponge or soft cloth, and a solution of mild soap or detergent and lukewarm

water. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.

PHOLSTERY

AINTENANCE

CAUTION: DO NOT use cleaners such as Lysol®, Armor All®, Windex®, or other abrasive detergents to clean uphol-

stered surfaces. These products will remove moisture from the Naugahyde® upholstery, resulting in premature

cracking.

Upholstered cushions should be cleaned on a daily basis to prevent damaged due to corrosives found in perspiration.

Wipe the top and sides of upholstered cushions using a cloth moistened with a solution of one part lanolin hand cleaner to nine

parts water. After cleaning, wipe down using a dry towel to remove any residue.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

Star Trac strongly recommends performing regular preventive maintenance on your STAR TRAC INSTINCT ROTARY TORSO.

Without regularly scheduled maintenance, normal wear and tear may cause cumulative effects, such as misalignment or prema-

ture wear, resulting in downtime. For this reason, we highly recommend following the maintenance schedules. Additionally, unusu-

al symptoms, such as excessive noise during use, stiffness or free play in moving parts, etc., should be investigated and necessary

corrective actions (adjustment or parts replacement) should be performed. If any components are found to be worn or damaged,

the unit should be removed from service until repairs can be made. Only components supplied or approved by Star Trac shall be

used to maintain and/or repair the unit.

MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES

RAMEWORK

AINTENANCE

CAUTION: DO NOT use lacquer thinner, acetone, or other solvents to clean powder-coated finishes on the framework

or other structural components. Solvents will dull the finish, and contain components that may remove the epoxy-

based powder from the frame.

Framework and other structural components should be wiped down on a daily basis using a moistened with water. This will

increase the longevity of protective powder-coat finishes. The framework should be inspected while cleaning for evidence of fatigue

cracks, scratches or chips in the finish, loose hardware, worn or damaged weight belt, and other areas that may require attention.

Apply easy-application car wax to all powder-coated surfaces quarterly. Regular waxing will aid in preventing premature rusting

due to corrosives found in perspiration, and will allow loose particles to be removed more easily when performing the daily wipe-

down.

4. Install the Seat and Shoulder

Cushions

Hold one shoulder cushion (32) in place on the

shoulder cushion support (6) (factory

installed). Secure the shoulder cushion to the

support with two screws (66) and washers (53).

Tighten the screws securely.

Repeat for the remaining shoulder cushion.

Hold the seat bottom cushion (30) in place on

the seat frame (4) (factory installed). Secure

the seat cushion to the seat frame with four

screws (66) and washers (53). Tighten the

screws securely.

Hold one seat side cushion (31) in place on the

seat frame (4). Secure the seat cushion to the

seat frame with four two screws (45) and

washers (53). Tighten the screws securely.

Repeat for the remaining seat side cushion.

5. Install the Weight Stack Shrouds

NOTE:

It is necessary to flex the lower

shrouds (33, 34) slightly to engage the mat-

ing grooves in the weight stack frame (1).

Slide the lower front shroud (34) into the mat-

ing grooves in the weight stack frame (1). Slide

the lower rear shroud (33) into the mating

grooves in the weight stack frame.

Install one tapped hole nut (42) onto each of

the six upper shroud mounting tabs on the

weight stack frame (1).

Hold one upper shroud (35) in position against

the weight stack frame (1), and secure the

shroud to the frame using three screws (49)

and washers (54).

Repeat for the remaining upper shroud (35).

6. Final Assembly and Testing

Check all attaching parts to ensure they are tightened securely.

Verify operation of the shoulder cushion support:

■ Mount the unit. Pull out on the pull pin in the shoulder cushion support to retract the locking pin, and hold in the

retracted position. rotate the support up, then release the locking pin. Verify the locking pin engages a drilled hole in

the support.

■ Repeat to verify the locking pin engages the drilled hole at all support positions.

Mount the unit. Engage the selector pin at a comfortable weight.

You have now completed assembly of your

INSTINCT ROTARY TORSO.

ANCHORING

IMPORTANT:

The INSTINCT ROTARY TORSO must be secured to the floor to stabilize

and eliminate rocking or tipping over. This must be performed by a licensed contractor.

Failure to anchor the unit will void the warranty. STAR TRAC shall not be liable for

damage or injury caused by unanchored or improperly anchored units.

The INSTINCT ROTARY TORSO must be anchored to the floor using through bolts or anchoring studs. Each foot pad on the

unit provides two anchoring holes that will accommodate bolts of up to 12mm (7/16") diameter. Only one hole in each foot pad is

required during anchoring. The holes used for anchoring may be selected based on installation site requirements or customer

preference.

Anchoring bolts/studs must meet the following requirements:

■

Anchor bolts shall be Grade 8.8 or Grade SAE 5.

■

Anchoring bolts or studs shall have a minimum size of 6mm (1/4") diameter; 8mm (5/16") diameter bolts/studs are recom-

mended.

■

Pull-out force shall be 100kg (2201 lbs) minimum for any single anchor. This will ensure a secure anchoring system and

safe operation of the unit by all users.

GENERAL GUIDELINES

As with any exercise program, strength training involves an element of risk. The information provided in this section will help you

and/or your members make safe and productive use of your STAR TRAC INSTINCT ROTARY TORSO.

■

ALWAYS consult a physician before beginning any strength-training program. This is particularly important for persons

with known health conditions and/or persons that are not familiar with the risks involved with weight training.

■

All training sessions should be supervised by trained personnel.

■

BE SURE that all warning labels and placards affixed to the INSTINCT ROTARY TORSO remain on the unit. DO NOT

alter warning labels and placards. BE SURE that each user reads and understands the information shown on all labels and

placards (safety, instructional and/or other).

■

Instruct all users on the proper use of the INSTINCT ROTARY TORSO, as well as those actions that should be avoided.

■

Your INSTINCT ROTARY TORSO has been designed to accommodate a wide variety of body types. Prior to use, mount

the unit and adjust the seat height to ensure comfortable operation of the leverage arm.

To minimize user and/or bystander injury:

■

Do not lean the against framework, weight stack or any component, regardless of whether it is dynamic or static.

■

Stay clear of all components while in a dynamic state of motion. Keep hands and feet away from cables, belts, cams and

pulleys and/or any converging action. The convergence of these transmission-based components can cause serious injury.

■

Exercising on free weight and selectorized products should be performed with the assistance of a spotter.

PRODUCT USE AND MAINTENANCE

Repair of the INSTINCT ROTARY TORSO should be performed only by authorized persons.

NEVER modify the INSTINCT ROTARY TORSO or attempt to make adjustment(s) to, or the repair of, the unit equipment with-

out first calling STAR TRAC Product Support. Always notify authorized personnel to make such repairs.

Instruct all users to report any equipment or training irregularities to supervisory personnel IMMEDIATELY.

CAUTION: Do not "high pin" and/or "double pin" a weight stack. This action is con-

sidered to be dangerous to users, and bystanders, and may damage your INSTINCT

ROTARY TORSO. Aside from the mechanical damage that may result, such

action(s), in part, may cause the weight stack to crush or pinch fingers, hands

and/or extremities. DO NOT use the unit if the top plate is elevated and/or pinned
